LYON, France: Jean-Philippe Mateta scored twice and Michael Olize added a third as France came from behind to beat Egypt 3-1 after extra time on Monday and set up an Olympic men’s football final showdown with Spain.
Thierry Henry’s France looked to be heading for defeat in the semifinal in Lyon after Mahmoud Saber put Egypt ahead just after the hour mark.
But Mateta, the Crystal Palace striker, levelled from Olize’s assist with seven minutes of the 90 remaining.
